At Tiguac Cemetery, the grass may grow quietly but the paper trail is screaming.

A KUAM News investigation reveals Comfort Cuts, owned by Frankie Rosalin and Charissa Tenorio, two of the seven indicted in the recent high profile pandemic funds fraud case, was repeatedly paid far above legal limits, billed twice for the same work, and even pocketed thousands for jobs never done.

The most recent violations stretch into Fiscal Year 2025, where records show DPR approved inflated invoices month after month. 

In January, a dry-season month capped at $1,650, Comfort Cuts was paid $2,475 for just one cut, not the two required.

But the red flags go back years. 

In November 2020, at the height of the pandemic, DPR’s then-Director Roque Alcantara approved an $11,700 procurement for Comfort Cuts to cut the grass twice. 

They skipped November entirely, yet still got $5,850 for work they didn’t do, claiming instead to have mowed in December. 

Weeks later, they submitted another invoice for a second December cut with no date, just the words “services provided for Dec.,” and it was paid the same day.

The 5-year Tiguac Cemetery contract, signed in April 2021, was supposed to cap yearly payments at $24,750. 

But by FY2024, DPR had doubled that to $49,500, despite comfort cuts performing less than half the required cuts and violating the contract’s 48-hour completion rule.

Even in a short-term contract from April to September 2023, worth $24,750 for just six months, DPR paid the maximum monthly rate of $4,125. DPR Director Angel Sablan addresses how these overpayments happened 

The DPR Director says Comfort Cuts will be told to pay back the excess. If they refuse, the case will be turned over to the Attorney General for possible action.

“We're going of coures to follow up on this,” said Sablan. 

KUAM confirms that on Friday, AG Doug Moylan says the matter is currenty under investigation.
